When the Indian selectors announced the 15-man squad for the three-match series against Sri Lanka, they left out one headliner.

Virat Kohli had been rested. 10 ODIs, 5 T20s and 4 Test matches on the trot since October 2014 and the young Test skipper seemed to have earned his rest.

Only, rest, there was none. Atleast not for his social media accounts. Never more active on Twitter and Instagram, here’s what Virat Kohli taught us about himself in the last two weeks.

1. He’s ‘Heartbroken’

So who doesn’t know this by now? If you haven’t been living under a rock, or on Mars, Virat Kohli’s updated relationship status must have reached you by now.

2. His Mother is Gorgeous

Going from one ‘leading lady’ in his life, to another. Virat also introduced the web world to his mother in the last week.

Having brought Virat up on her own after his father passed away at an early age - let’s just take time to applaud Mrs. Kohli now, shall we?

3. No ‘Cheat Sundays’

Fruit, nuts and a vegetable smoothie to start your Sunday. Woooww. Not!

Apparently this health freak vice-captain of ours won’t let his tastebuds rejoice even on a Sunday. How non-yummy does that glass of ‘eeewww’ look!

4. He’s Lost Weight. Apparently.

All of Virat’s fans were treated to a bit of a ‘Throwback Thursday’ from the man when he put his photoshop skills to the test and gave us a peek of his past and him present.

Cheeeekuuu

5. He Likes Raw Food

What’s that I wrote about the guy not giving his taste buds a treat?

Well, apparently Sushi is a treat he allows himself. Apparently, a lot of it!

6. HE. LIKES. SELFIES.

No joke!

Virat Kohli likes taking selfies apparently as much as he likes scoring centuries- if you compare the frequency of both.

A selfie a day, keeps the umpire’s finger at bay.

7. He’s Got Something Called a Technoshape

Rough translation: made money

8. He Endorses Tissot

Read: He made mooore money

9. He Loves Audi

Read: A looooooooot more money

10. Adidas Like Him

What’s the difference? He likes Adidas. The brand likes him.

You know what it means...

He made a loooooottt mooooooreeeeee monnnnneeeyyyyyyy.
